Women Of Camelot

Jacqueline Bouvier. Ethel Skakel. Joan Bennett. Three women who married into America's royal family and became forever linked in legend. Set against the panorama of explosive American history, this unique story offers a rarely-seen look at the relationship shared among the three women -- during the Camelot years and beyond. Whether dealing with their husbands' blatant infidelities, stumping for their many political campaigns, touring the world to promote their family's legacy, raising their children, or confronting death, the Kennedy wives did it all with grace, style and dignity.

This was an excellent book, detailing events and tragedy surrounding the Kennedys during their political successes. The story was written in such a way you were engaged in the characters and though you may have not agreed or even related to some of their behaviour you still felt empathy and sadness when the women faced tragedy or were treated badly. It's a nice perspective of the wives and excellent for a summer read even if you don't have a vacation house to escape to like a Kennedy.
